Pedal Forward Foundation

The Pedal Forward Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering financially underprivileged youth by providing them with opportunities to learn how to ride bicycles at no cost. We believe that the lack of a bike or helmet should not be a barrier to learning this essential skill, so we strive to donate bikes and helmets to kids unable to afford their own.

Pedal Forward was founded in Alpharetta, GA, by Jonathan Thai at age 16 as a sophomore in high school, and he continues to serve as the Executive Director. The organization has now grown to establish chapters in Tennessee and New York, serving disadvantaged youth nationwide.
